Default x-brace recommendations?

Anyone care to chime in on their favorite x-brace? Based on what I've read, I'm leaning toward the Comptech since I read that it doesn't interfere with changing the oil and it's light. Anyone offer up a different opinion?

Don't you love it when people just yell out their favorite, with no further explanation? Might as well not bother posting!

I think people recommend the Whiteline brace because it's less expensive than the Comptech, and like the Comptech, doesn't get in the way of oil changes.

I like the Cussco because it mounts clear out of the way of the center front jacking point and does not interfere with oil changes.

Compare? It's impossible unless you've owned all of them. I installed the Muz a couple of weeks ago and I'm impressed with the more stable ride on rougher surfaces. I haven't changed the oil yet, but it doesn't look like it will be a problem.

It works as advertised. Very easy to install. You'll need an 8mm hex wrench. Better on-center steering feel and the car feels more solid and stable on rough roads.

Whiteline is what I've got. Why are people yelling out just a single word? Maybe because the price is reasonable on the Whiteline and it does exactly what it says it does and more. Why fix what's not broken?

I've got cusco and at 150 bucks, it's worth it. Muz looks very good and I'm sure it performs just as good as it looks, but at 250+ shipped, I figured I could spend 100 bucks elsewhere. With the cusco, my car feels more solid over bumps, but I can't comment on handling as I haven't driven the car hard enough to notice.
